Luby’s Chicken Durango – breaded chicken breasts, with ham and swiss cheese, a great alternative to Chicken Cordon Blue.
Cafeteria food, is such a comfort to so many of us, we have all eaten at cafeterias. What is better than getting to pick and choose exactly what you are going to enjoy? These chicken breasts are somewhat like Chicken Cordon Blue, but they are easier to make, and sure to please all of your guests.
4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast
1 – 1/2 C. Plain Bread Crumbs
1 tsp. Seasoned Salt
1/4 tsp. Pepper
1 C. Milk
1/3 C. Tarter Sauce (Hellmann’s was used)
4 Pieces Thinly Sliced Lean Ham
4 Pieces Processed Swiss Cheese
Pound chicken breast until they are 1/2″ thick. Mix seasoned salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper with plain breadcrumbs, set aside. Dust chicken with breadcrumbs, dip in milk, then dip chicken breast back in seasoned bread crumbs. Place chicken in heated fry pan with just enough vegetable oil to cover bottom of pan. Fry breast on medium heat until golden brown. Remove chicken breast and place on serving tray. Spread breast with 1 + 1/2 tablespoons tarter sauce. Place ham on chicken. Top ham with a slice of the Swiss cheese. Place chicken Durango in oven or microwave just long enough to heat and melt cheese. Serve with you favorite salad or side vegetable.
To help even the cooking time, I highly recommend pounding out the chicken breasts and making them thinner. If you are trying to save calories this helps you feel like you have received a larger piece of meat than you actually have.
